Three of Swords
The Three of Swords represents deep emotional pain and heartbreak that seems boundless. However, it carries an important reminder that while suffering may feel overwhelming, we must not shoulder all the blame ourselves. This card teaches that self-blame can be more destructive than the original wound. It encourages acknowledging pain while maintaining perspective on personal responsibility and avoiding self-destruction through excessive guilt.

Visual Description
A bloodied, barefoot woman in a torn dress leans against crumbling stone, clutching a small child or doll to her chest and crying out. Three swords are embedded in the rubble nearby, one upright and two slanted, while two limp children lie motionless among broken stones. The scene shows debris, a broken wheel, scattered coins, and a dark, wintry background with bare trees and a ruined building visible through an opening. A sword emblem appears at the top border and the numeral 3 is centered at the bottom border.
